I know that but doubt he is a very committed supporter; seems to have a stronger affiliation to University Blues if you read his bio on Wikipedia. Nowhere near as "involved" with the Aints as SHocking is with Geesook. Whatever, he cannot appear to be partisan, whereas SHocking thinks no-one notices or he can just bluff his way through and fool everyone with a compliant and intimidated media.
But I'm talking about how Gil is the AFL overseer. Nothing significant is happening without his knowledge. SHocking is his agent.
